How to use Flashback...

Have you ever wanted to record just the play of the game (your daughter kicking the winning goal) or capture just the highlight of an event

(your son receiving his diploma)?

Use Flashback when you want to capture video of short activities like these—without using up all your memory. You’ll begin recording, but with Flashback selected, you’ll only save the last 10 seconds of video (or if you prefer, you can also select 5, 15 or 20 seconds of recording time from the Flashback

Period menu option).

Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing a Simmons ® CaptureView ® CV-4. CV-4 is an

8 x 30mm full-featured binocular. It is integrated with a waterproof digital camera that requires no film to capture pictures or video. This manual is designed to quickly guide you through the operation of your CaptureView CV-4. For best results, take a few moments to become familiar with the operation of your device, and be sure to save this manual for future reference.

A few of CaptureView’s many features include:

• Fully functional binocular.

• Digital camera that captures pictures and video.

• Color LCD display panel allows you to easily navigate the operational menus.

• Flashback feature allows you to easily record just the highlight of an activity.

• Designed to be used in a water environment. See A W ORD A BOUT W ATERPROOFING , page 30, for important information on this topic.

WARNING!

Never use your binocular to look at the Sun! Looking at or near the Sun will cause instant and irreversible damage to your eye. Eye damage is often painless, so there is no warning to the observer that damage has occurred until it is too late. Do not point the binocular at or near the Sun. Children should always have adult supervision while observing.

Using Your Binocular

If you want to...

Adjust Eye Relief

Fold down

Do this...

If you wear eyeglasses, fold down the rubber eyecups and hold the eyepieces up against your glasses.

Adjust the Barrels

You will need to adjust the barrels as the distance between your eyes is usually different than the distance between another person’s eyes.

1. Hold CaptureView up to your eyes in the normal viewing position. Use both hands to hold each barrel firmly.

2. Pull the barrels apart or push the barrels together until you see a single circular field with both of your eyes.

Do this...

1. Set the Diopter Scale on underside of CaptureView at its center point between “+” and “-.”

2. Choose an object (such as a telephone pole) that is at least 50 feet (15m.) away.

3. Looking with only your left eye, rotate the Focus Knob until the object you are viewing is focused.

4. Looking with only your right eye, rotate the Diopter Scale until the object you are viewing is focused.

5. Now, looking with both eyes, rotate the Focus Knob to focus on both far and near objects.

Other Menu Options

If you want to...

Use Flashback

This feature is very useful when you wish to capture a short activity , but are not sure when it will begin.

This feature captures video for a userselected period of time (5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds). Select the Flashback menu icon and press the Menu button to activate recording. You can record for as long as you like, but you will only save a recording for the period of time you have selected.

For example, if you chose 10 seconds, only the last ten seconds of the recording will remain in memory and be saved—the rest of the recording is discarded.

To select a period of time, go to the

Flashback Period submenu (located in the Settings menu; see F LASHBACK

P

ERIOD , page 23). The camera remembers the last setting you choose in this menu.

For example, you may want to record a baseball pitcher throwing a pitch:

1. Select the Settings menu and press the Menu button.

2. Select the Flashback Period submenu and press the Menu button.

Select 10 seconds and press the

Menu button.

3. Select Back. Press the Menu button.

4. Select Flashback and press the Menu button.

5. Press the Shutter button to begin recording while the pitcher prepares.

After the pitcher throws the ball, click on the Shutter button again to turn off recording. “Saving” displays on the

LCD screen.” You’ll have saved only the last ten seconds of the pitcher’s activity.

Some suggestions for using Flashback

Let’s say your daughter is on the varsity basketball team. And right now, she’s dribbling down the court. You’d like to capture her patented hook shot on video.

This is a job for Flashback.

Select Flashback with a recording period of 10 seconds and press the shutter button as she sets off down court. The ball is passed back and forth, and is kicked out of bounds. But don’t touch the Shutter button just yet to stop the recording. Keep following the action.

An opponent puts the ball back into play, your daughter steals the pass.....she

sets....she shoots.....skyhook....she scores! Now press the Shutter button to stop the recording. The last ten seconds has been saved to video. Everything else— all the unimportant activity—is discarded.

Using this method, you can record 7 or 8 of the best plays of the game (or more if you use a user-supplied flash card).

Or let’s say your last name begins with “J” and your son is graduating from college. The Dean begins calling the “J’s.” Select 20 seconds from the Flashback

Period option in the Settings menu. Press the Shutter button to start recording.

Finally the big moment arrives, it’s your young man’s moment in the sun. After he accepts his diploma and high fives the dean, press the Shutter button again and you’ll have this unforgettable memory saved to video.

A Word about Waterproofing

CV-4 is designed to be used by the sportsperson, boater or casual user in an environment in which exposure to water, such as rain, mist, splashing and so forth, might be a possibility. However, it is not designed to take pictures underwater nor is it intended for any application underwater. In other words, it is intended to be resistant to accidental exposure to water. It is not designed for intentional submersion or extended use in water. If CV-4 is intentionally immersed in water for any significant length of time, the electronics and optics may be damaged or destroyed, and you risk voiding the warranty in doing so.

Also note that although CV-4 may be used near a water environment, water on the lens will cause the images that you capture to be distorted, just as it would with any camera. Take the time to towel off the camera lens with a soft cloth before attempting to capture an image. Also wipe off water from the entire device when you leave the water environment, and especially before storing.

Make sure you observe the following directions before opening or closing the battery compartment in order to provide a water-tight seal for the electronics.

• Make sure that you are in a dry location before opening the battery cover for any activity.

• To open the battery compartment, press the tab down and push the battery compartment lid forward to open.

• To seal the compartment, close the lid and slide the tab up. The tab must be locked in the up position for the compartment to be properly sealed.

Maintenance

Care of Your CaptureView

1. Remove dust or stains with a soft cloth dampened with water or neutral detergent.

Keep in a dry, cool dust-free environment or a container when it is not being used.

Do not spray liquid cleaners directly onto LCD. Using only gentle pressure, wipe the LCD with a slightly dampened cleaning cloth.

2. Avoid dropping CaptureView. Do not disassemble CaptureView.

Troubleshooting

It is very important to use the following connection and disconnection procedures to download pictures.

1. Only connect CaptureView to your PC when the PC is on and Windows has completed loading.

2. Avoid physically connecting, disconnecting and reconnecting the camera during a download session. Instead, disconnect the camera using Windows software: Rightclick the USB on-screen icon and select disconnect (or connect to reconnect).

3. Always disconnect CaptureView before shutting down the PC.

If CaptureView is unexpectedly not recognized by the software program, close the program, disconnect the camera and reboot your PC. Only connect and disconnect your CaptureView using the procedure outlined in this section.

If you are using a Mac OS 9.0 or higher, drag the memory card icon to the trash before disconnecting the USB cable.
